The Cornerstone



in building bold façades,
        structures to ward

        grief and recognition,
[loss and never-knowing]

we catch between
the vanity of warm flesh

 

           and dark dreams of decay.

erecting battlements and towers,
denial the foundation stone -

our daily breath
within that lie

locks life from open air and truth,
from field and hallowed sky
where walls, however ancient,
                        cannot crumble.



our cornerstone -
entropy

             ever defeats us
